No need to enter the script here.
Just fix the conditions as per your need of date
and in second tab there is option to abort action, just check that box.

Hi Santoshi,

this should help you

Few corrections

1) BR should be running before update State is Approved

2) you should give message first and then abort

Business rule:before-Update

when to run: state is approved

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {

// Add your code here

var now = new GlideDateTime();// current date time
gs.addInfoMessage('current updated date..'+now);
var duedate= new GlideDateTime(current.sysapproval.due_date);
gs.addInfoMessage('.due date is ....'+duedate);

if(now > duedate){

gs.addErrorMessage('please select the future dates');
current.setAbortAction(true);

}

})(current, previous);

Hi Santoshi,

If you don't require script then try this

BR: Before update

Condition: Approval.Number [STARTSWITH] RITM && State == 'Approved' && Approval.Due Date before Today

In Actions tab

1) the Abort action as true

2) Add message as true

3) Your message there
